| Overall Educational Objective |
To learn and apply basic principles of Embedded Hardware Design for the development of low and high voltage electronic circuits incorporating microcontrollers, electric traction inverters, battery management systems (BMS) and power supply circuits (DCDC Converters) |
| Course Description |
The automotive and IoT industries have undergone a tremendous change with the recent developments in the electric powertrain, autonomous vehicles, and connectivity. Many of the today’s vehicle designs may incorporate up to 150 electronic control units (ECU). The goal of this course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of embedded hardware systems in Automotive Electronics, household appliances and IoT applications. The course will start with a brief introduction of current trends in automotive electronics (hybrid and electric vehicles) and vehicle electrical architectures. A comprehensive overview of hardware design methods including ECUs, DCDC converters, sensors, communication interfaces like SPI/I2C, CAN/LIN communication networks will be given. The course will be finalized with the basic principles of requirements engineering, functional safety and simulation and tolerance analysis methods. |
| Course Description in Turkish |
Otomotiv ve IoT endüstrisi, elektrikli güç aktarma organları, otonom araçlar ve kablosuz haberleşme alanındaki son gelişmelerle muazzam bir değişim geçirmiştir. Günümüzün araç tasarımlarının çoğu 150'ye kadar elektronik kontrol ünitesi (ECU) içermektedir. Bu dersin amacı, öğrencilere gömülü sistemler ve donanım tasarım temellerini tanıtmaktır. Kurs, otomotiv elektroniği (hibrit ve elektrikli araçlar), araç elektriği ve yazılım mimarilerindeki mevcut trendlerin kısa bir girişiyle başlayacaktır. ECU'lar, elektrikli çekiş inverterleri, DCDC dönüştürücüler, sensörler, SPI/I2C haberleşme arayüzleri, CAN/LIN iletişim ağları dahil olmak üzere donanım tasarım yöntemlerine kapsamlı bir genel bakış verilecektir. Ders, gereksinim mühendisliği, fonksiyonel güvenlik ve yazılım mimarilerinin temel prensipleri ile sonlandırılacaktır. |

| Teaching Methods | Flipped Classroom, lecturing, project-based learning, problem-based learning, laboratory work |
| Homework and Projects | There will be 3 in term assignments and 1 final project. The assignments will be on i. simulation and analysis of hardware components like power supply circuits, microcontrollers, ADCs, signal conditioning circuits, ii. electrical architecture design, requirements engineering and tolerance analysis, iii. high and low power actuators (e.g. inverters), thermal management. The students can choose their final project topic. The final project topic is subject to approval from the course instructor. |
| Laboratory Work | There will be three labs. Students use a variety of simulation methods in LTSpice (AC, DC, Transient, Monte-Carlo) to analyze the main hardware components like signal conditioning circuits, power supply circuits, microcontrollers, ADCs etc. Hardware test and debugging methods of an automotive ECU will be demonstrated. Students report their lab work. |
